10 best home weather stations

Buro H127G is the most affordable of all electronic weather gadgets, and almost all owners recommend it for purchase. The reason for such a positive attitude towards a budget device is a very successful design, in which the comfort of use is combined with decent functionality. A small, stable, with an optimal tilt angle, the weather station gives a very accurate idea of ​​temperature, humidity, shows a forecast animation for several hours ahead and even the phases of the moon, which is important for gardeners.

Reception of indications is possible from 3 wireless modules (only 1 is included in the package). Interestingly, the external sensor is able to connect to two weather stations at the same time, so you can purchase a base for each room. Similarly, by purchasing several outdoor sensors, you can monitor the temperature in a garage, greenhouse or cellar on one display. Not superfluous and functions like a clock, alarm clock and calendar. As for the disadvantages, their list is much more modest than the list of advantages: not everyone likes the design associated with a photo frame and narrow control buttons.

Another device for diagnosing the main microclimatic parameters is Selina from the famous Swiss brand Stadler Form. Its appearance was developed by the leading specialist of the design bureau, multiple winner of prestigious awards in the field of industrial design, Matti Walker. The model received a stylish super-thin body, smooth curves and 5 color options - white, black, berry, silver and bronze. True, the last 3 are the most scarce, and they are difficult to find on sale.

"Selina" is intended only for home use - a remote sensor is not provided in the design. But with direct functions - control of room temperature and humidity, displaying the exact time - the device copes remarkably. It is worth looking at it for those who care about the design of the device, and also, if it is required to determine the humidity in dry rooms: the humidity measurement range is extended in comparison with other devices and amounts to 10 ... 98%.

This model is not classified as a weather station - according to technical specifications, it is a thermometer-hygrometer. But, in addition to the fact that the device measures room humidity, temperature in the house and on the street, it also determines the comfort of the environment at the level of “dry”, “comfortable”, “wet” ratings. You should not expect a full-fledged forecast from the gadget, but it will warn you about the trend towards the upcoming weather change. Additional functions - quartz clock, calendar, charge status indicator - are simple and necessary in everyday life.

To read changes outdoors, the device is equipped with a remote sensor with a wire 3 m long. The range of external measurements is from ‒50 to +70 °C, automatic memorization of the maximum and minimum values ​​is provided. The data is read every 8 seconds, which allows you to dynamically update the actual data on the screen, on the other hand, saves the AA battery that powers the mini weather station.

Among the advantages of the TFA 35.1140.01 model are an informative LCD display with color backlight, a considerable receiving radius of the remote sensor (up to 80 m), as well as the ability to work both from the mains and from batteries - 2 AAA (main unit) and 2 AA ( block for measuring external parameters).

In addition to displaying microclimate parameters and demonstrating a forecast graph, the device shows the dew point, wind direction and speed, remembers the history of changes, is supplemented by a calendar and serves as an alarm clock. After setting the time zone, you don’t even need to check them with the TV and the Internet - thanks to the built-in radio controller, the time will always match the correct one.

Conveniently, the device can warn of temperature and humidity limits - a very useful feature for gardeners and gardeners. For the sake of objectivity, it is necessary to mention the shortcomings indicated in some reviews: the lack of Russian in the menu and instructions, a small viewing angle and information about the pressure level only in the form of an icon.

You can get a visual idea of ​​the microclimate in the house using the Beurer HM 16 weather station. Among its peers, it stands out with its minimalist Apple-style design and a large screen that displays only 2 key parameters - temperature and humidity. The device makes measurements instantly, the figures are reliable, thanks to the size they are perfectly visible from a distance of up to 5 m, despite the fact that there is no backlight.

If the measurements are too deviated from the norm, a sad smiley appears on the display, and vice versa - with optimal performance, a “smile” lights up on the screen. The device is powered by a CR2025 battery with a lithium anode (included in the kit), it consumes energy economically. Information from the reviews: the model is sensitive to drafts and coolness, so it is better not to put it on the windowsill. Such a weather station is especially useful in a home library, in a wine cellar, various storage facilities, where it is important to ensure a stable microclimate.

Due to the need to place a sufficiently large amount of information on one screen, manufacturers often sacrifice the size of the numbers and the distances between the icons. The Ea2 ED602 home weather station is distinguished by excellent visibility of images from almost any distance and at any angle, and in the dark, a bright and uniform backlight comes to the rescue, activated by 5 with the push of a button on the top end of the main unit.

The front panel of the case is made of a thin aluminum sheet, painted in bronze - not only a design solution, but also a practical one. The device is multifunctional: it works as a thermometer, hygrometer, barometer, clock and alarm clock. Someone complains about the measurement errors of 2-3 divisions, but this is corrected by resetting the data with the Reset button and installing the wireless module in a shaded area.

The HAMA EWS-800 model was developed about 10 years ago, but is still in demand. This fact alone indicates a good balance of cost and functionality, which is also confirmed by users. The most positive emotions in them cause realistic weather forecasts. The device was repeatedly tested both in laboratory conditions and at home, its humidity measurements were compared with analog hygrometers, and the results were impressive: the temperature difference was no more than 0.5 °, the pressure indicators completely coincided, and the humidity differed by ± 1%.

When buying, it should be borne in mind that the units of measurement of the barometer are not presented in the usual mm Hg. Art., and in inches or hectopascals. Another relative minus is the complexity of the setup and non-obvious instructions. But here, as in expensive weather stations, you can always know the exact time, study pressure changes using a histogram, set the warning threshold, that is, the maximum and minimum at which the gadget will sound the alarm.

An extensive range of functions allows you to use the BRESSER weather station both at home and in personal plots. The device is able to predict the weather for half a day in advance, show the level of atmospheric pressure with an accuracy of ± 0.38 mm Hg. Art., every 10 s update data on temperature (±1°), precipitation (0.5 mm) and humidity (±7%), as well as give an audible signal when they go beyond the set limits. The standard functionality is extended with wind chill temperature, dew point and thermal coefficient.

Measurements are collected from a 5-in-1 wireless weather sensor connected to the main unit via radio or Wi-Fi. Communication is maintained at a distance of up to 150 m. Current performance is shown on a color screen with good resolution and a wide viewing angle. Symbols next to them (arrows up and down) the device shows the trend of change. Separately, there is a forecast icon with intuitive pictograms. In general, if it were not for the cost, this device would take a higher position in our top.

Those interested in the concept of smart home will certainly like the gadget from the French company Netatmo - the Urban Weather weather station. In addition to temperature, it monitors the level of carbon dioxide, noise and pressure in the room, and a remote sensor provides the user with data on the quality of the air outside.When the CO2 level gets too high, a red light comes on on the cylindrical module, which changes to green once the room is ventilated.

The weather station also knows how to predict the weather for the next day, and it does it quite reliably. But the main thing in it is not this, but the presence of a separate application and the ability to remotely monitor the temperature in the house and outside. It is advisable to integrate a weather station with an air conditioner or humidifier so that they are activated at certain parameters. If you buy a few more wireless sensors, the system can be scaled to other rooms. But that's not all: your module can be used on a global map - any Netatmo Urban Weather Station user has access to up-to-date weather data anywhere in the world.

The Oregon brand is about the same in the home weather station market as Xerox is in the copier world. Despite the rather narrow specialization, the company managed to organize a global network of 16 representative offices and 30,000 points of sale. She deserved such unconditional leadership with impeccable functionality and stylish appearance of her products. You don't have to look far for examples: the BAR208S has consistently received excellent reviews for accurate forecasts, allowing you to learn about bad weather in time and take appropriate action.

The gadget differs from analogues in its unusual vertical design. This arrangement provides a compact arrangement on a table or shelf.The control panel of 5 buttons is placed on the front side, and at the base there is a green LED, which is activated in case of ice or frost. According to reviews, this nuance helps a lot in the morning training, when there is no time to look at the display and see the weather outside the house in a hurry. And the presence of a synchronizer with atomic clocks, the error of which is 1 s / million years, is also pleasantly surprising.
